HON. SAM CARY
Tells the People of Bridgeport a
Few Things About
The Coming Election and The Republican
Party-Foraker and His Political
Capital--Mrs. Cleveland Com
mended-A Fine Speech

BRIDGEPORT, O., Oct, 29,--[Special.
General Sam. Cary spoke in the in
terest of Democracy here, and held an
audience composed in the main of mem
hers of other parties till his last utter
ance had died away, and he was shaken
by the hand by members of both paries
all apparently wishing to acknowledge
his ability.
Mr.. Cary said: II would like for
every man present to forget that he
ever belonged to a political party, but
that is no doubt impossible, for party
harness hang close. You see an old
man walk up and cast Democratic
ticket, but still unable to assign any
reason except that his father was a
Democrat. You see Republican do
the same and give no reason except
that he helped to form the party, and
rocked it in its cradle, and that he will
always stand by it through thick or
thin, right or wrong. But every man
in Lincoln's original Cabinet lived to
turn his back upon the party except
old Cameron, of Pennsylvania, and he
was kicked out for stealing"
The first matter discussed was the
manner in which the parties prominent
in politics during the past quarter of a
century have handled the public
domain. He felt positive that there is
room for a thousand States in this
country, and that stars would be added
to the old flag till the whole blue
groundwork would be filed and the
aggregation make
ONE GREAT SUN.
No public domains were given away
by the Democratic party except to
schools and for public improvements
owned by States or Government. The
Republicans gave away 100000 acres
Of land to a corporation composed Of
only forty men, and the Democratic
party in two and one-half years has re-
claimed 100000 acres and opened up
homes to actual settlers. Think of half
q dozen English syndicates owning
more land than is comprised in the
whole State of Ohio. Think of thirty
i've miles of wire fence on one farm.
If our boys want to go to Texas, they
may go there and become cowboys for
IN English nobleman. Just in proper
5ion as people own their own homes, so
will liberty exist
A prominent metropolitan Republi-
can paper said editorially a short time
since that nearly al the small farmers
in the west and northwest had their
farms mortgaged, and lacked the funds
necessary to purchase fertilizers and
machinery necessary to successfully
work these farms. This paper COM
mented on what an excellent opportun-
ity this presented for capitalists to pur-
chase these farms and rent them to
their present possessors and establish
the tenant system so successfully oper-
lted in Great Britain. How is that for
4 Republican scheme? Are the farm
ers getting rich? If they are, they are
ioing so at The expense of their backs,
their bellies, or their neighbors. Some
men would get rich if they made but
two nickels day. One would 60 down
into the pocket, and as it went you can
near it repeat part Of that old Metho-
list refrain, Farewell, vain world, I'm |
going home" The farmer takes three
Or four.
NUBBINs OF CORN
under his seat, when he goes to town, |
md drives into an alley or vacant lot |
ind feeds his horse out of the end of |
The wagon, and purchases a few cents
worth Of crackers and cheese to nibble !
1t till he gets home. He can't go to
lotel and get square meal; it costs too
much.
In speaking Of the tariff he said 1t is
possible to stimulate a thing too much.
An industry is just like an individual. |
Give man few drinks of good Dem
)cratic whisky and he is as rich as
Cresus, and can sing "Home, Sweet
Home" without home. He can lick
lis weight in wildcats. Keep the thing |
up few days and he is weak as a child
ind poorer than the last heir of Lag
arus.
Concerning the navy, he said the Re-
publicans had spent $75,000,000 on a
navy, and today we havn't single war
ship which can either fight or run. Con-
corning some appropriations, "there
have been appropriations made to i'm
prove rivers where a cow would famish
in August. Why, once a civil engineer
was sent to see the amount of improve
ment needed on certain stream. He |
drove his staff down into the stream,
and upon pulling it out the water all |
ran into the hole.
Concerning Foraker, he said he had |
lived under thirty governors in Ohio,
and never before was he ashamed to |
tell people away from home who was
the governor of the State. Foraker is
going about the State making political |
capital out Of his being snubbed. If |
man called me dog and If nay wife |
did not snub him, would at once ap-
